What do Hulks and Titans have in common?
Posted by Quivering Palm in News on January 12, 2010
… lovely killboard pages like this one and this one
As you can also read in the latest Tribune article, the above fight for Y-2ANO recorded as one of the most expensive losses in a single battlefield ever yet in terms of ISK.
Reports say that in fact 7 Titans met their doom but somehow the killmails went lost.
As rumored there are about 250 of those ships (the size of Long Island) in the game.. well about 246 :-p Now, for newbs like me a single Titan loss seems unthinkable.. but 7… or even 4 ?
With the number of players online on the server reaching a new peak record of over 56.000 ((!!)) last weekend, I expect that killmails like that will be coming again sooner or later.
Bundled with player-driven actions like Hulkageddon II, started by Helicity Boson, I say 2010 started with quite a bang!
Exhumers (especially Hulks) are sky-rocketing in market already – almost double price compared to a month ago – as well as Destroyers and other ships used in the suicide runs.
The coverage of Hulkageddon II in media like MMOCrunch and Massively.com is huge, as well as the whole EVE blogosphere.
So what do Hulks and Titans have in common?
They both require massive amounts of minerals to make, especially Tritanium. I am curious to see how the market will be affected…
In the meantime, I am training a mining alt to help mine all those lovely roids inside Planet Risk to help the corp in building more capitals
